New Delhi: Actress Neetu Kapoor is a household name in India since the ‘80s. After the untimely loss of her actor husband Rishi Kapoor, she took some time to come out of the mourning period – and since then, it was a fresh start for her. Recently, actor Ranbir Kapoor, her son, tied the knot with actress Alia Bhatt, and the mother of 2 seemed to have celebrated it with all her heart. But little do we realise what it takes to be the happy-go-lucky person she is at 63.
As a first, the actress admits to being against the abuse of body. And being fit as a fiddle, Neetu Kapoor never compromises with her fitness routine. From doing 20 Surya Namaskars to walking 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day – she does it all to keep herself going. A yoga enthusiast, she admits to practising Pranayyam regularly along with breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom whenever stressed. The deep breathing workout following by meditation or Kapalbhati helps her calm the nerves naturally.
